Really? No one?

So it very much sounds like no one is going to make a bid on Twitter this week. Which means that the possibility of a Twitter acquisition, at least for now, appears to be over.

That’s going to put even more pressure on Twitter to figure out a way to restart user growth, which has ranged from “stalled” to “slow” over the past year. Twitter’s revenue has also been growing slowly, and it’s unclear if its new embrace of live video — like streaming NFL games and the presidential debates — has been helping.

Twitter will update investors on its earnings again two weeks from now, on October 27, and it’s likely the company will either address or be asked about where acquisition talks go from here.

What's next?

Your guess is as good as mine about what is next for the social media giant. One thing is for sure, it seems like the failed acquisitions aren't fairing well over at Twitter.

In what seems like an attempt to fly under the radar (is that even possible anymore?), Twitter has made a sneaky move to lessen the media blow on it's upcoming quarterly earnings statement. It has been moved to 4:00 a.m. PST on Thursday. Normally tech companies tend to report after regular-day trading ends at around 1:00 p.m. PST. There are a lot of reasons for this — but, in general, it’s tradition. And it’s less of a nightmare for the Left Coast.

Earnings reports are usually watershed moments for public companies. However for Twitter, it is most likely a nightmare. Since co-founder Jack Dorsey took over the company (while still running his payments startup, Square) the stock is down nearly 40%.
